You sound like me.  I've seen 11 deer from my stand so far.  The only one I had a shot at was a little skipper and I let her go.  I had my bow drawn on one nice doe but she didn't want to take the last one or two steps to get into my shooting lane.

sure would    hopefully the bucks are right on em.  I haven't seen squat in the woods...heard em, tons of sign, they're there, seems like weekend conditions have been lousy (or the 1st half anyway  ). with the climber, if I go out after work, by the time I get out there, up the tree, just settle in.....it's dark!   go figure.

 once we change the clocks this weekend, that hour moves to the morning and we can use a gun...

Saturday plans are hunt around home till late morning and then the wife has a scrapbooking thing in Standish at 2. Got invited to hunt off Oak Hill road for the afternoon out there with her friends husband.  He's got a stand out by his place and says they're there too.

anyone else got plans?..rituals?

I just picked up one of those TSC blinds from ameristep.I set it up sunday in some thick jack furs on the edge of a swamp about 300 yards behind a nice field.There's a few rubs and 1 nice ground scrape within view.I got a nice comfy beach chair in there and i'm sitting all day.If it sucks,at least i'll be dry!I've been seeing quite a few deer in the field at dusk so maybe they'll head my way at daybreak.

I havn't got a deer since I came home from the service 4 years ago.  Whatever offers me a shot is going down.  If it's small I'll just keep hunting expanded archery and try for another one.

I live off the Oak Hill Road and saw 2 nice does a few days ago.  Good luck out there-if you see the beaver behind my house-don't be afraid to send him a warning.....

I was out last night and a buddy hit one and we tracked it till 9ish It was a good clean shot nice dark blood. He said that it was a little high....gave up for the night...I am getting ready to go find her now....just as soon as the sun comes up...He's is at work...but I think I have to work harder getting his deer out of the woods 
 I was in my stand and had 3 come out...just after last light....I was in the same spot last week with my ground blind and got busted because of it..had 2 doe come in to my left and was getting ready to take a shot and one looked rignt at me in the blind...and took off....she was spooked any ways cause of the wind...
 
 Good luck to all on Sat..
